NILES — The Niles Police Department is investigating a fatal shooting that left two teens dead and three people injured Tuesday evening.

At approximately 11:37 p.m. Tuesday, officers were dispatched to the 600 block of Sixth Street following reports of gunshots. According to the NPD, a group approached a home and fired shots before driving away.

Two female victims were found deceased at the scene. The deceased victims have been identified as Demi Galvin, 15 years of age and Yasmeen Scott, 18 years of age – both of Niles. Three males were found with gunshot wounds and were taken to South Bend Memorial Hospital.

Tuesday’s fatal shooting follows the recent shooting deaths of Farries Maxell on Aug. 16 and Raquon Glenn on Sept. 8. The three shootings occurred within blocks of each other and appear to be related.

The city is requesting that anyone with any information on either of these shootings contact the Niles Police Department at 269-683-1313, or Crime Stoppers.
